HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE TO WRITE THE BLUES

 HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE TO WRITE THE BLUES

HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE

TO WRITE A SONG THAT LL MAKE YOUR HEART FEEL SAD

IS IT THE WEIGHT OF A THOUSAND BROKEN DREAMS

OR THE PAIN THAT LINGERS IN HIS SOUL

OH TELL ME NOW WONT YOU PLEASE

HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE TO WRITE THE BLUES

IS IT THE LONELINESS THAT KEEPS HIM UP ALL NIGHT

OR THE MEMORIES THAT HAUNT HIM NEVER OUT OF SIGHT

IS IT THE LOVE THAT SLIPPED AWAY LIKE SAND THROUGH HIS FINGERS

OR THE MISTAKES HE MADE THAT STILL LINGER

OH TELL ME NOW WONT YOU PLEASE

HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE TO WRITE THE BLUES

IN EVERY TEAR THAT FALLS IN EVERY SIGH HE BREATHES

IN EVERY SHATTERED HOPE AND EVERY HEART THAT GRIEVES

THERE LIES A STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD

A MELODY THAT CAPTURES THE PAIN RAW AND BOLD

DOES HE NEED A LIFETIME OF HEARTACHE

OR A MOMENT OF DESPAIR THAT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

IS IT THE BATTLES HE FOUGHT OR THE WARS HE LOST

OR THE LESSONS HE LEARNED NO MATTER THE COST 

OH TELL ME NOW WONT YOU PLEASE

HOW MANY BLUES DOES A MAN HAVE TO HAVE TO WRITE THE BLUES

SO LET ME SING THE BLUES LET MY PAIN FLOW THROUGH

IN THOSE MOMENTS I SHARE A PIECE OF THE TRUTH

IN THE DEPTHS OF MY SORROW THE ECHOES OF MY CRIES

THE BLUES COME ALIVE  REACHING FOR THE SKY
